Since we have no class on October 13 and I will be away on October 20, I’d like you to visit New York Hall of Science to participate in one of the following activities:
- October 1 or 2: A two-hour Maker Faire volunteer session
- Catherine Cramer, Senior Program Developer at NYSCI, is running a live visualization activity for visitors called “Data in the Midst.” She is looking for volunteers to help guide visitors through the activity; in return, you receive a day pass for the entire day of Maker Faire.
